BeamWatch™ Non-contact, Focus Spot Size and Position monitor for high power YAG and Fiber lasers

ֺInstantly measure focus spot size

ֺDynamically measure focal plane location during start-up

ֺFrom 1kW and up – no upper limit (So far we have measured up to 30kW)

ֺNon-contact, laser beam is completely pass-through

ֺAutomation Control Interface for System Integration

ֺGigE camera interface for local network installation

ֺPatent pending

BeamWatch™ utilizes disruptive technology to measure very high power lasers. By not intercepting the beam and yet providing instantaneous measurements,

you can now monitor the beam at frequent intervals without having to shut down the process or remove tooling and fixtures to get access. In addition, you can now measure focal spot location at millisecond intervals and know if there is any focal spot shift during those critical start-up moments.

Connection for filtered air

BeamWatch includes Technician and Operator modes:

ֺTechnician Mode: The technician has access to those tools needed for start-up and advanced beam diagnostics.

ֺOperator Mode: The run-time interface provides measurements at video rates with simple graphic display to quickly understand the status of laser performance without the need for user interaction.

Focus Spot Size

BeamWatch images the full beam caustic measuring the waist at its smallest point, many times per second.

Focus Spot Location

Now you can precisely know the dynamic behavior of focal spot shift throughout the laser duty cycle. By inputting the known distance from the laser delivery head to a precise datum on BeamWatch the focal spot distance is constantly measured and tracked with millisecond updates.

Assured Process Consistency

Measure as often as needed to assure repeatable and consistent

process uniformity. Mount BeamWatch into the process or manually insert BeamWatch and make periodic measurements.

You can also automatically compare to initial process validation measurements and utilize automated pass/fail.

Simplified operator mode

Automation Interface

Implement an Automation Server written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), C/C++ or by an application with support for ActiveX Automation, such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word or National Instruments’ LabVIEW.

SP503U-1550

GRAS20-1550

SP620U-1550

The up-conversion from NIR to visible light in the 1550 series cameras is nonlinear.

The anti-Stokes phosphor coating produces visible photons at a rate roughly the square of the input signal. This is shown dramatically where the camera total output increases dramatically faster than a linear output shown in the bottom line. The CCD camera saturation in the center of a beam, the up-converted visible signal drops as the square of the input signal. Thus the lower signal wings of a beam are suppressed, resulting in the appearance and measurement of a beam width much smaller than actual.

This illustration is a comparison of the cross-section of a beam with and without correction. As seen, the real width of the beam is much greater than would be observed without correction.

Wavelength Response

The anti-Stokes up-conversion efficiency is very wavelength dependent. This graph shows the typical spectral response curve of a new, high response coating. As seen, we have calibrated the response from 1527nm to 1605nm. We have extrapolated the shorter wavelength region by comparing our measured response to data published over the entire range.

Phosphor Coated Cameras with Spiricon's BeamGage software

Spiricon's engineers have carefully measured the non-linearity of the signal generated by the Phosphor Coated series cameras. The software in the BeamGage incorporates an algorithm to correct for the non-linearity. This illustration shows the linearity obtained, showing in the top line that the low level signals drop linearly, rather than at the square of the input, seen in the lower line.

The two photos show the uncorrected and corrected camera beam shape in 3D. See the BeamGage section for additional information on the beam analyzer.

Notes:

 

(1) Despite the small pixel size, the spatial resolution will not exceed 50μm due to diffusion of the light by the phosphor coating.

(2)Signal to noise ratio is degraded due to the gamma of the phosphor’s response. Averaging or summing of up to 256 frames improves dynamic range by up to 16x = +24dB.

(3)In normal (non-shuttered) camera operation, the frame rate is the fastest rate at which the laser may pulse and the camera can still separate one pulse from the next. With electronic shutter operation, higher rate laser pulses can be split out by matching the laser repetition to the shutter speed.

(4)This is the damage threshold of the filter glass of the filters. Assuming all filters mounted with ND1 (red housing) filter in the front. Distortion of the beam may occur with average power densities as low as 5W/cm2.
